Input voltage: DC24V / 48V

High-Speed Field-Bus EtherCAT Interface: EtherCAT is a field-bus system that allows 100Mbps high-speed and highly reliable communication. With this interface, response speed is boosted up, and takt time is greatly reduced.

Space-Saving: Now one driver can control 2 motors, installation space will be reduced by 30% when compared to the case with controlling by our 2 conventional drivers*. *SANMOTION Model No.PB DC power input type (Model No.: PB3D003M20□)

Also Ideally Suited for Equipment Requiring Synchronizing Operation: The driver can perform dual-axis synchronizing operation. (While in profile position mode)

Encoder Available According to Use: In addition to an incremental encoder, an absolute encoder is also available that does not require zero-return/push operation when the power is turned on.

High Speed Positioning: High torque performance in the low speed range delivers shorter positioning time for short stroke at high hit rate applications.

Smaller System Size: Smaller system size is achievable for low speed applications due to the availability of higher torque performance in the low speed range as compared to conventional servomotors With the AC power input type, motor torque has been increased by 50% compared with our conventional product.

Stable Stand-Still: Complete stand-still motion is possible due to the availability of holding torque, a typical characteristic of stepping motors. With the AC power input type, a compensator function is built in to prevent position aberration from occurring due to load variation.

High Resolution: Able to set high resolutions. The AC model comes with electronic gear and enables users to set any resolution, according to the device.

Improved Efficiency from Current Control: Higher efficiency from low heat generation is achieved by controlling the current flow to motor according to motor load With the AC power input type, motor heat generation has been reduced for 60% compared with our conventional product.

General Purpose I/O Input: System can be easily controlled by using the general purpose I/O to designate preset point or program numbers. (AC Type R, DC Type M: 128 point DC Type R Multi-axis: 256 point)

Support For Various Operations: Comprehensive built-in amplifier functionality includes thrust control, point designation, programming, homing, holding brake control and sensor limit input.

Built-in Pulse Generation Function: A built-in pulse generation function is included in the Model No. PB Types R and M. The amplifier receives speed, acceleration/deceleration and distance as numeric data from the upper-level device, and automatically generates an optimal speed pattern according to the commands internally. Since no separate pulse generator is required, this contributes to lower system cost.

PC Interface: Parameter setting, data editing and monitoring of position and speed can be done on a PC using the bundled setup software.

Space Saving and Wire Saving: This driver can control up to four stepping motors and requires less than half the installation space of four conventional drivers.*1 Also, only one power supply and I/O signal cable are necessary, reducing the amount of wiring.

Takt Time Reduction: In addition to the conventional closed loop control that eliminates step-out--a shortcoming of stepping motors-- the new model includes a mode that also eliminates delays in position commands.*2 Without any delays in position commands, device takt time is reduced.

Flexible Resolution Settings: Position command resolution can be set between 200 P/R and 51,200 P/R, enabling operation at the suitable resolution required for the device.

Easy Analysis of Settings and Operating Status: Setup software downloaded from our homepage can be used to easily adjust control parameters, execute test runs, and monitor operation status from a PC.
